Since the arrival of the Finnish netminder Tomi Karhunen in Bern, the Bears have three goaltenders on their roster with their former duo Niklas Schlegel and Pascal Caminada. According to RSI, this could change soon, as Schlegel is expected to sign his new deal with HC Lugano in the upcoming days.

More concrete than the signing of Niklas Schlegel seems to be the arrival of EV Zug's Canadian forward David McIntyre in Lugano. He is expected to arrive in the Ticino on Thursday, the same source reports. With McIntyre, the Bianconeri would have found their fifth import-player that team manager Hnat Domenichelli has promised.
